Recently a close friend and a longtime listener to Paternal reached out with a request. Could her father participate in a private recording session, just like the guests on Paternal?

Her father’s health was declining, and she wasn’t sure how much longer he had to live. As she began to consider the world without him, she realized what a gift it would be to not only hear his voice after he was gone, but listen to him tell his life story in his own words.

So that’s exactly what we did. Paternal host Nick Firchau spoke with her father for more than two hours about all the rich elements of his life - love, family, and career, but also his messages for his children and grandchildren. Then we edited it all together as if it his own personal episode of Paternal. Less than a year later he passed away, and we got a note.

"This afternoon, the first thing I wanted to do was hear his voice and pulled up the recording,” she said. “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I can’t say it enough. I miss him so much already, but I’m so happy I have this.”
